Removing heavy metals and organic contaminants from solids using an Upward Electrokinetic Soil Remedial (UESR) technology

Removal of heavy metals and organic contaminants from soils using integrated Upward Electrokinetic Soil Remedial (UESR) technology and biological remediation

“…All the treatments showed that the removal efficiency for Cd was the highest (45% to 72%), followed by Zn (38% to 62%) and Pb (9% to 37%). Previous studies have shown that the removal efficiency of Cd or Zn was generally better than Pb (Huang 2005;Kim et al 2001;Vengris et al 2001;Virkutyte et al 2002;Wang et al 2006).…”
